=head1 DESCRIPTION
This Action handles doing automatic method dispatching for REST requests. It
takes a normal Catalyst action, and changes the dispatch to append an
-underscore and method name.
+underscore and method name. First it will try dispatching to an action with
+the generated name, and failing that it will try to dispatch to a regular
+method.
For example, in the synopsis above, calling GET on "/foo" would result in
the foo_GET method being dispatched.
which brings this class together with automatic Serialization of requests
and responses.
-When you use this module, the request class will be changed to
-L<Catalyst::Request::REST>.
+When you use this module, it adds the L<Catalyst::TraitFor::Request::REST>
+role to your request class.

+This class automatically adds the L<Catalyst::TraitFor::Request::REST> role to
+your request class. If you're writing a webapp which provides RESTful
+responses and still needs to accommodate web browsers, you may prefer to use
+L<Catalyst::TraitFor::Request::REST::ForBrowsers> instead.
L<Catalyst::Action::Serialize>, L<Catalyst::Action::Deserialize>
accepted return formats. You can do this by setting it in your query string
thusly: C<< ?content-type=application%2Fjson (where %2F == / uri escaped). >>
